VN - RPGM - Completed - Monarch of Magic [v1.1] [Chaotic AsMe]

OVERALL,this game is 2/10.MADE in rpgm engine this is first bad thing .Too much of random fights and cant walk peaeafully in to any location .Hell lot of irritating .Not good sex scenes as well with no creampie scenes except for the prologue where a bit of pussy with semen was showed ,other than that no good sex scenes .Creampie scenes is necessary in pregnancy game if you are making one .IN game walkthrough is just ok not best as it also dosent fully specify the details.I hope i dont have to play any other garbage game like this one .IF u want to taste irritation then go for it .Bad english aswell in it. Story is just ok at this point so much irritation dosen't even had the intrest to play more.

This game has a special ability to grate on you the more you play, especially very early on the dev forgot what the main gimmick was supposed to be, which was mind control. Turns into a below average rpg maker game and the domination spell and the currency tied to it relegated to either only story moments for the spell or grinding stat buffs for the currency. The constant grammar mistakes and misspellings don't help the story, which could actually be quite interesting if it was written by someone with a reading level above fifth grade. The combat is completely unbalanced, either being piss easy or constipation shit hard but in a very bad way, like bosses dealing thousands of damage and having tens of thousands of health for no reason besides the dev is shit at game design. As for the porn part of this porn game, I got hard at like two scenes and the both ended a line or two after. The models are fine, so I'm gonna say the dev's lack of ability to write is the problem once again. This dev very clearly went into this project half cocked and past the prologue and first bit in the house with the maids had no idea what they wanted to accomplish which lead to this, a whole lot of wasted protentional.

Review for v0.25, as of v.027 it still stands though the update seems to be of lower quality.

I wanted to like this game so very, very badly. And you know what? I kind of did. However, the game needs serious work (And some minor corrections on spelling and capitalization).

First and foremost, the entire time I played the game, it felt like the game was actively fighting me on doing things. We get the ability to dominate minds fairly early on, and the game instructs us to use it, and then we basically never get to use it on our own again after that. The game keeps talking about how we're going to use it, but then actively prevents us from using it so that the plot can happen. It felt really unnatural, especially when you find out months have passed during the course of the game. You're telling me, in those months that have passed, we haven't found a single minute alone with certain characters where we could have used our abilities? This kept drawing me out of the game. This is probably by far my biggest issue with the game itself.

The sex scenes are also a bit problematic. As a couple other reviewers have pointed out, the scenes being 2 images more or less, and just spamming the action button to alternate between them until the scene is done. Poorly mixed in sounds just adds to the disappointment.

Finally, everything continuously being locked off from us for the longest time also felt odd, and artificial. The character himself constantly comments how he's used to sneaking around and doing stuff, but we cant do any of that (with very few exceptions) to bypass some of the limit.

On the other hand, I enjoyed the combat, and the story itself is great, which redeems the game into getting two stars rather than one. I want to see this gem shine, so here's hoping its creator puts some work into polishing it up!

My take after a dozen hours on this game is, good story, girls are hot, good music, somewhat decent combat system with the optional cheat move. But all of this has to pair with the 2 frames sex scenes, terrible sound effects, and as one of the reviews below said, questionable lighting, you can't see shit sometimes. The game still has a lot to improve on but it would be best if a complete overhaul were to be made.

Definitely recommended for just the story if you are interested in some good ol' politics, manipulation, and plotting. Not so much for a good wank, cuz there is barely any good one to begin with lol

There were two things about this I didn't like: the sex scenes and the bugged events.

For the sex scenes, the game had the "animated" tag, so I thought they would be animated. I learned they were not and requested the tag be removed, and looks like it has been. What happens during the sex scenes is that for each shot, the developer set up two frames, and the player clicks on their mouse button to make the two frames go back and forth. I don't know why the dev didn't just program the two frames to automatically go back and forth in a loop. Seems pretty standard, even for this simple kind of two-frame set up. Disappointing. What's the point of the player clicking for the two frames to go back and forth? Why not just do the one, then the other, and then move on?

The other thing I didn't like were the bugged events. The first time I played, I found some events weren't playing, and other events would reference these events I missed or somehow got ahead of in the story. When I went back to play a second time, I found that events I missed I was now able to find, but then other events I had found during my first playthrough somehow got missed during my second playthrough. Only in my third playthrough was I able to get all the events, and that was by rigidly following the in-game walkthrough. That's pretty annoying, since part of the fun of an RPGM game is being able to explore. But now I'm afraid to explore for fear of messing up the events and missing some. Not good.

On the plus side, the game does have a pretty good story with lots of intrigue, and the combat isn't half-bad, so I can at least give it two stars.

If it stopped being so buggy I'd give it three stars, and if the sex scenes were actually animated, even just the simple two-frame flip, then I could give it four stars maybe. But for now, it's only worth two stars.

My recommendation is to pass on this one.

This game has good story but everything else is like blind leading a blind. I'm aware that developer has put a lot an effort in making this game, but this game more looks like if every mistake you could make in making a game and then combine it all together. On top everything these images for the game are misleading because most of the time its like those first colour games from 90's.

I really really love this game
I always wanted to play a game like this
It contains magic and have a dragon , kingdom, politics ,family drama, powerful monster fight to get some unique items and power like in (GOW )
I played this game many time again and again , the mechanism of this is just what i wished for ,for me it's the best game of this site i loved it so much
Thank you

v0.20v2
+I am liking the plot.
+The intrigue is fun. the powers are fun. the mind control is fun.
+MC has utterly massive in combat / per step in worldmap regeneration of HP, MP, and TP. This makes it a lot less annoying than typical RPGM games. It also really helps sell the fact he is supposed to be an awesome badass chosen one.
+lots of cheesy cheats to ascension which you are actually supposed to use.
+practically xianxia. for the MC only.
+dev listens. He removed the annoying missable mechanic, and the external walkthrough was dropped in favor of an integrated walkthrough (just use the key item titled walkthrough and it tells you what to do next).
*At the very start it looks like MC is a doormat who is willing to take abuse, this quickly passes as MC grows a spine and actively moves againsts his enemies.
-engrish
-too much large empty spaces
-bugs
-art could be better

the first fight is what killed it for me, I know I got past it once, but I can't remember how.. and having this much of a road block in the start of a game means the dev doesn't understand people cannot read their mind. I'm sure its very clever, but not cohesive, and in my opinion game breaking.

to add to it the dialog is long winded and you cant skip it (not every going to do a second run through

click points are shit. most rpgm games you click on the flashing light.. not here, they're redundant which makes you have to guess where you activate anything.

broken in game walkthrough

its really too bad the dev is so lazy and detached

hi!

Story : in terms of story imho it has really interesting story for someone who likes fantasy worlds like me and i recommend to everyone!(as story i mean story of the world itself not just main character, politics monarchy different faction power struggle races etc etc )
Solid 5/5 ★★★★★

Gameplay : i love rpg games where you explore you can go discover towns dungeons do side quests get companion I think this game needs a little improvement in this area! for start there isn’t much side things to do its focused on main story you check your walkthrough item and do what it says its very linear almost no choices involved, other problem I have is random encounters you get like every 2-3 seconds you are in places like forest I think they should tune this down a little it gets annoying really fast and you don’t even fight you just esc and exit the fight every time ! combat for a rpgm games is good they added a lot of unique spells that aren’t in any other games although boss fight can be really unbalanced you can stunlock them w/o any challenge!
I give 4/5 ★★★★☆ for gameplay

Art : art of this game is good enough not amazing but it’s a big game and big world with a lot of scenes the only problem I have with it is image sequence they made to make it look like animation which is good only problem is you have to click it yourself I think they should add some sort of script to make the image sequences repeat automatically in a loop…!
For art I give 4/5 ★★★★☆

Overall for rpgm game I give 4/5 ★★★★☆ I love the game and recommend it to everyone who love roleplaying and fantasy worlds I took one star only because there is a lot room for improvement nevertheless its very good game even in this stage as version 14v2

thanks

OKAY. This game.... I swear.. So I decided "lets try an RPGM game for once." And I chose wrong. There's a lot of games with this engine that at least have content but the stuff in this is so few and far between its ridiculous..

The story is long winded, which in any other engine wouldn't be awful, but RPGM had the worst, least smooth, and painful to get through transitions of any engine. So ontop of walking around set pieces that are much larger than they need to be, you have to mash left click to finish this within a month only to get a half assed message after the worst experience you will ever have on a boat only to fight budget Cloud and Tifa and not able to save at the end.

I had to restart twice because of an even that if you don't do it before anything you just cant do anything. When your family comes to your house, VISIT THE STORE ROOM FIRST OR YOU WILL DELETE THIS GAME OUT OF ANGER.

The entire story is "You are a quarter-elf hero that single handedly kills the demon king. You're more attractive than any guy, giant penis, and everyone hates you at best out of jealousy. Your dad and step mom want to kill you because your dad didn't birth you from his sister. And you get a skill that lets you control everyone." You can dominate eearly on then that just disappears and the open world feel immediately is a linear story that makes you walk around even though you can't do anything other than the main objective.

A second star only because the writing isn't complete crap. This is NOT a visual novel its a slog that eliminates boners with random encounters and padding so be warned.

As of 0.12 this game is a pain to play. I am really easy to please. The story so far was ok and the mind control implementation somewhat original.

There's love in the back story, you can tell. The sex scenes are basic but ok..ish.

But the latest update "expanded" on the fighting mechanic and let's face it, it's just padding to make you waste time. It's simplistic in all ways. Now, you get to explore dungeons and any form of balance is immediately thrown out the window.

I was in a spider place where you had to destroy their eggs and I was attacked 28 times. That is just the first room! I could literally not make 3 steps before an encounter. Now those spiders have an attack that can hit you for about 50% of your health and there's 4 of them per encounter with loooooooooong standard RPGM animations for attacks. All the same. Literally. You decide if that sounds fun for you.

If I want to play a decidedly mediocre RPGM dungeon crawler, there's better options by far than this.

What a waste of time. Up until you leave the city it's 3 stars, after you need to kill it with fire. Seriously.

So far in development 0.10v2 the game has managed to hook me in with likeable characters, decent h-scenes and most importantly gameplay that is not boring compared to so many rpgm games out there.

And from the look at the unfinished game map this seems to be a long term project considering the amount of locations planned out.

The game also gets bonus points from not shying away to make monster girls actually scary but sexy looking. A breath of fresh air from the constant anime style monster girls.

Overall fun cake walk gameplay with decent story to back it up along with an MC who dosen't speak or act like a hormonal teenager who just met a woman. You'll love it if like power fantasy, mind control, or incest.

To be honest this game is 3 stars top, gameplay is abysmal at times and animations are wooden. I added 4 stars because I like this kind of stories and it fits perfectly my kinks.
If you like MC you might like it, if you don't then don't waste time.

Pros:
- Interesting stories
- Nice character designs (some may beg to differ)
- Very nice depiction of non-human races

Cons:
- I'd rather look at static pictures than view the scenes as "animations"
- The grammar and typo mistakes are almost crippling
- MC walking on house wall means something is wrong with the map making

Overall the game is pretty cool so far, interesting story and world so far, with a glimpse at several sex scenes with many different girls. This game is really early in development though it seems and still needs a lot of cleanup. Hoping the in-game hint system gets updated soon, maybe adopt the system peasant's quest has where they separate it from main and side quests. Otherwise I believe this game has a lot of potential.

Overall, this game is okay.

First, just to get it out of the way, the sex scenes in this game are pretty bad.

Horrible lighting, no animation, bad renders, and as @rance4747 stated in his review right below mine, very weird sound affects at times.

Half the time, you can't even see what's actually going on in the sex scene.

And the game provides the player with no control over how the sex plays out once the player chooses to have sex with a girl.

So if your looking to fap to some really good sex, look somewhere else.


Second, as an rpg-maker game, this game has other issues as well:

1. The combat is mostly uninteresting and not very challenging. You will breeze through most fights by using the special attack.
2. The dialogue is a bit clunky at certain parts and mostly held back by the bad grammar. If English isn't this creator's first language, you can really tell.
3. The movement in the game isn't the best. Sometimes you run into invisible walls like in the altar room of the mansion and sometimes you walk through tables and chairs.

Third, there is little player choice in this game. The only time I can recall the player getting to choose is when the MC is picking a dragon egg.

But overall, there aren't any real dialogue choices you are allowed to make and there aren't any times when you have to choose one of many routes to go down, which makes the whole gameplay experience a bit boring.

Hell, the game doesn't even allow you to name the Main Character.
His name is Lugo and you just have to deal with that.

It really does feel more like you're clicking through a visual novel than actually playing a role-playing game.


So after all this negativity, why am I rating this game as 3/5 or average?

Well because, for all this game's faults, it does have 3 things going for it:

1. The game has some really good still renders of nude girls. I particularly love the render of Liliana's big titted mom.
2. The game has some very solid music that really sets the mood.
3. The ABSOLUTE BEST aspect of this game is it's engaging story. Even with the bad sex scenes, it was the story that kept me playing this game for so long. Learning more about the characters and their histories, discovering more spells and new secrets, and finding more opportunities to dominate the minds of different girls. This game's story isn't the greatest story ever told, not by a long shot! But it is very good for games of its kind.

Overall, I can't fully recommend this game due to all of it's aforementioned issues and problems.

But I can say that if you decide to play this game, it won't be a complete waste of your time.

Okay. The story is ok, even good when it comes to usual power fantasy.
Music isn't terribel either, at least on the level of some of the better old style RPG's.
The models are sexy enough, and the whole mind fuck thing with servants was written A ok.
That would have been 4/5 easely already, but then... the sound effect author choose... it made me laugh so hard I nearly poped a vessel.
Imagine the sitation.
Average maid enters her masters chambers for sex. She unzips him and starts stroking. Then out of nowhere, the sound of... sharpening of fucking steel!!! That's six out of five you glorious MF!!!

Assets seem to be made from scratch, almost all RPGM systems are utilized in some way, the story is unique and interesting, with a world that has a ton of potential and despite the game being pretty early in development it already has quite a bit of depth, and you really FEEL like a force to be reckoned with. You aren't some nobody who starts out weak, and the game makes it a point to emphasize your strength. However, you also aren't a god (yet) and are still vulnerable like any mortal man. It's a good balance of strength and weakness that many mind control games (like LLTP) screw up in my opinion. Though I will admit, it's in a pretty janky state right now, with many walls being clippable and a plethora of bugs, some even being game breaking. The art style also can be a bit difficult on the eyes, at least for me. However, if you can get past the bugs, jank and rigid art style, it's something worth playing. All in all, this game is something very special and it has effort put into it that not many can match. I hardily recommend this to any avid mind control fans, and I am looking forward to seeing where this project goes in the future. I just hope it doesn't get abandoned like many others, because it's already great and has so much potential. I guarantee you if this dev sticks with this game for a few years, it'll end up being one of the heavy hitters in the mind control genre.

[Rev @ v0.0.7]

Rough, but not hopeless.

Arts' alright. Girls tend to lean a bit thicc for my tastes.

Writing is bad. Scenario isn't particularly new, fluency is weak and narrative is disjointed. Characterization is fine for the level the current release is at, but the roughshod writing hampers it as well.

Porn is alright; currently light on content and pretty vanilla. Nonhumans have a dire case of Taterface.

TLDR: Needs polish.
